When I was born my great nan brought me a porcelain doll, but I wasn't allowed to have it till I was older. I'm not interested in selling her, but I would like to know how much she is worth.

These dolls are beautiful and all but they are mass produced. The price people are selling them on eBay for are $10 to $20 only. Most of them are not sold and the listing is cancelled.
These are mass-produced and worth less than what you paid. You could get $25 max.
I have an immaculate Sister Francis doll with stand, certificate, and box. I just wanted to find out how much it may be worth. Thanks.
I brought this Leonardo Collection doll for my nan. I am restoring her but I'm absolutely in love. I want to buy one for myself.
Does anyone know her name She has no tags, no history known from seller. Sshe's soft bodied and has blue eyes.
There are lots of available Leonardo Collection dolls listed for sale online but finding this particular doll will be almost as difficult as finding the proverbial 'needle in a haystack'.
I can only suggest that you join some of the doll forums and ask your question. The problem with this is they usually want the doll undressed completely with pictures of full front and full back both clothed and unclothed. Also a picture of markings on the back neck and a full face picture. They really need these for older dolls but for best results pictures are necessary.

We recently came across a Leonardo Collection doll, and bought it. Yet from the images online, she is very interesting and unusual compared to most of the other Leonardo porcelain dolls. We managed to find one on eBay which was in rather bad condition compared to ours. She has ginger curled hair, with a petit, realistic look on her face, with green blue eyes, she contains a green and white pearl necklace, she wears a mainly green dress, with leaves and flowers on it, then the tutu bottom to the dress has strokes of other colours, such as pink, blue and yellow, to finish off she wear solid green garment, then sandals at her feet.

These dolls are mass produced and rarely sell for very much - usually much less than the cost when new. Also, dolls are usually very hard to sell as shipping is expensive and a lot of trouble due to being very easily broken.
Sellers sometimes list similar dolls for months and months and may never sell one. You can try Google, Amazon, Craigslist (best place for dolls as no shipping cost) and retry eBay for even similar dolls. These dolls are best bought just for yourself and not for resale.
I would like to find out the value of this doll.
They are worth at most 25.00.Go on E-Bay.
There are a lot of dolls on the market from this, they range from $10 up to $35 on Ebay. Maybe you could do a auction/bid for better price, or yard sale to save on shipping.
The real value of the doll is determined when the doll is sold. Most of these dolls are mass-produced and sold off at such a low price right now. People can ask what they want for the dolls but there are not a lot of people buying them right now.
It could be semi easily unloaded for $5. It probably can realistically be listed for anywhere from $5 to $15. Some overly optmistic doll broker might say it's worth as much as $30 which is probably an utter fantasy considering the market is oversaturated with these mass produced 'treasures' and few people actually want them.
And that's only if it's intact, from the box
I do not now the history of these. Can someone help me please?
Thank you.
These are both mass-produced dolls. Their value decreases, not increases. It doesn't matter if they were never taken out of the box. They are worth at most $25.
There are a lot of posts about this brand on our beloved Thrifty Fun site. Here are a two of the links:

Researching them is time consuming because the company frequently reused names...so for example there may be 5-6 Lauren's over the years, for example. If you have the COA that will give all of the necessary info to make it easier to find the value.
The best way to find the value is to find the exact doll and see how much it sold for on eBay or one of the other auction/resale sites.
I can tell you generally these dolls may sell, may sit for months unsold. They sell between $1 and $20 on average.
How much would a 55cm tall baby porcelain doll be worth? The doll is 55cm high by 25cm shoulder to shoulder. The doll has brown eyes, in a blue outfit and comes with a teddy bear and a blanket. The certificate of authenticity is still with the doll and the doll is in an immaculate condition. The box which the doll is kept in has a few marks but just general after being stored for a while. Any help on this item would be appreciated.

What is the value of Lp1466? Her name is Heather. There is a crown with swords on top of the box. The doll and box are in excellent condition. She is dressed like she is from Ireland or the UK. Just looking at the way; her hair is red. I want to know the value of this doll.
